The arena is a blast. Reminds me a lot of Halo 1.

Why BR starts aren't the the regular I'll never understand. For a game that wants to be competitive so bad it forces its players to spend the first 20 seconds of each life sprinting for that one BR.
its because the current incarnation of the pistol is pretty good.

"Why BR starts aren't the regular I'll never understand" Didn't every Halo "Except for 2" start a match with an assault rifle and pistol?
in CE yes thats true, but the CE pistol was the strongest default weapon the series has ever had. Halo 3 had both BR and AR starts but only retards wanted AR starts. there are some obvious exceptions; AR starts are usually desirable on maps like standoff and sandbox, but only because those maps are extremely easy to set up control on if the enemy doesnt spawn with BRs. Reach and H4 had loadout based systems which let the players choose which starting weapons they wanted.


Halo 3 MP: "Halo 3 had both BR and AR starts but only retards wanted AR starts" Haven't played Halo 3 in a long time, so I might of forgotten. (yes I know the MCC covers it up, but that game is so broken that I can't even play it anymore or even get the menu to fucking load up and start, fucking 343)

Halo Reach: Forgot it had loadouts (As I said before haven't played Halo Reach in a long time)

Halo 4: I feel so stupid, *facepalm* how I didn't realize it had loadouts is beyond me.

"Have you ever played a halo game"

Like the time in Halo CE when John is in space and curtana says "its over" and John says "No, I think we are just getting started"

Or the time in Halo 2 when in the begging Thel is getting branded as a heretic for not protecting installation 04?  And when John is getting his new improved Mark VI?

Halo 3 when The Arbiter, John, and Sargent Johnson are on the Ark, and when Spark attacks Johnson, the arbiter, and chief for realizing that they are going to destroy his installation?

So yes, to answer your question I had played every single Halo.
uh... ok

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

i skimmed a lot but it seems like he didnt talk about multiplayer at all.

weird, to ignore the flagship game mode in a 40 minute review.

He talked about it for almost half of the review, especially the REQ system.
i didnt see or hear anything relating to the maps, weapon sandbox, or gametypes. i did hear him bitch about the REQ system for about 15 minutes. which could have been covered in like, 5 minutes.

Things he complained about just off the top of my head:
-poor map rotation and design
-lack of classic maps
-lack of BTB
-lack of splitscreen
-tedious progression system

He also said he enjoyed Warzone and had some other praises, too. I think he likes Breakout also.
still doesnt sound like anything remotely close to an in-depth review of the multiplayer.

Joe's reviews aren't meant to be thorough, they're just an average, casual gamer's perspective of a game with some funny antics throughout.

I'm not trying to jerk the guy off but at least don't completely misrepresent the content of the review; he did cover multiplayer quite a bit while admitting his perspective isn't great because he sucks at it.

i assumed otherwise due to the 40 minute length. and i still dont think the maybe 2 minutes he spent glossing over multiplayer really counts. oh well. this content is clearly not intended for people like me anyway. no skin off my back.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

Unlocking all the armor really isn't all that important.  I just play arena and sell all my reqs except the exp boosts and buy silver to get stuff twice as fast.

"Master Chief Boss Battle"

I'm done with this moron, his channel has really gone down the toilet, fucking idiot, a Spartan II vs a SPARTAN FUCKING IV?!?!!??!!?!?!
Well....it was kinda advertised as this big conflict.....which apparently doesn't happen....thats kinda disappointing.

But still, how would a spartan IV beat a spartan II, I didn't need a boss fight because I know that Master Chief will kick Lockes ass.

Locke can kill just as well as John, though. And he did put up a decent fight in their obnoxiously slow cutscene battle.

Because we start with weapons that can actually kill other Spartans now. If you're good you can take on a spartan that picked up a br with a pistol

Angry Joe is shit he milks controversy for views now.  Repeats the same talking points everyone else does weeks later and is a general loud idiot. Once upon a time he made good content but know it is lol Microsoft sucks or can you believe what Nintendo is doing. Halo 5 has it issues when it comes to narrative (because quite frankly it is shit) but besides that it is the smoothest and best balanced console shooter since CE.  Complain about req packs containing non cosmetic items that are  one time use not req packs in general.

I neither fear, nor despise.
But still, how would a spartan IV beat a spartan II, I didn't need a boss fight because I know that Master Chief will kick Lockes ass.

S4s and S2s are mostly equals. Hence why the gameplay stays consistent regardless of which team you're playing on.

I mean, the fight ended in a near draw between the two. Locke literally had a pistol locked on Chief.

Even if the canon somehow details how wrong I am, the entire game leads you to believe that these two protagonists are on even grounds.
Nah, they're pretty much equal minus the experience and training the S2's have. Even still, S2's have gotten eviscerated before through being unlucky or outplayed. Chief and the rest of Blue team got taken down by Insurrectionists and kept prisoner until one of them that broke off before the ambush came back to save them.

Big difference is that Spartan II's are crazy strong out of the suit as well, Spartan IV's well the suit IS their power.

That's all well and good but competitive matches are always going to be BR starts.

Spartan IVs are augmented too. To a slightly lesser degree but hey are augmented.

Yeah they are augmented but like you said, to a lesser degree. That's why I said Spartan II's are super humans out of the suit, while Spartan IV's get their power from the suit. They won't beat a Spartan II if they aren't in their suit.

Not really. Current incarnation of the pistol is strong enough to be the default weapon for competitive.

Spartan IVs are still superhuman without the suits.

 In escalation you see Thorne and some other Spartans are attending a memorial for New Phoenex with the general population and they are giants in comparison to everyone else.

in fact, just stand next to Halsey in Halo 5 and look at how huge Spartan IV are in comparison to normal people

I don't know where this mentality that the Spartan IV are all somehow brain-dead cripples constcripted out of the trash came from but it needs to die.
